What *I* would have said
Bush (paraphrasing): "The commander in chief cannot say 'wrong war, wrong time, wrong reasons'."
If Kerry were my puppet: "But see how I'm NOT the commander in chief. I'm the guy who wants the job because I'll do it better by recognizing these things before invading."
With the followup: "It is not demoralizing to the troops to admit to a mistake. It is demoralizing to insist everything's fine while they DIE."
In a more heartening aside:
I didn't see the debates last night due to rehearsals (well, I caught the last 10 minutes, about).
Many in my high school cast got increasingly squirrelly throughout the night, wanting to be DONE so they could go watch the debate.
And a few had turned on the tv in another room so they could watch it when they weren't onstage.
They are engaged and interested and surprisingly well-informed.
Unsurprisingly, given their obvious interest in the arts, they seemed adamantly anti-Bush.
And the one Nader supporter in the group has already realized that Nader is just a Bad Idea right now. (He's a senior and may actually be old enough to vote.)
Also heartening: signs up at the high school "Hey Seniors! If you're 18 by November 2 - VOTE!"
